My sense is that Simmons won't be traded this year, and won't play this year. Only question is how much of his salary he keeps for doing nothing.

It pretty accurately reflects the value of Simmons relative to the type of players Philly wants to return though.
Does it reflect handing a championship to a team in the Sixers division?!?!? Derp derp derp. Simmons defense to go with KD and Harden and now the Nets actually have a legit bench scorer? Jesus Christ this is retarded.

I mean…

Yes, it makes Brooklyn better.

But it also gives Philly a chance to contend themselves.

If you worry too much about what the trade does for the other team you end up making a worse deal for yourself.

Ask San Antonio about that.

Yup

They get the guy who can create his own offense they claim to want

They get a good switchable perimeter defender to replace some of Ben’s d

And oh, yeah

They’re getting the best player in the trade

The one thing that has the #1 correlation with winning a trade in NBA history

The Sixers don’t need a crazy bastard that can’t even play because he’s on a social crusade against vaccine mandates by employers. Fuck that noise haha

It’s the team they’re chasing! And Kyrie doesn’t add much of anything. He can’t even get on the floor. Nobody needs that crazy in the locker room. You’re as crazy as Kyrie is if you think the Sixers adding him makes them a contender. That would be the exclamation point on the destruction and failure of the Process.

A fully committed Kyrie is a game changer. Unfortunately we have never seen that.

Yeah. Minotaurs would be cool as fuck if they existed. Would also love to have a 4 some with Kardashians.

1) it’s still better than the version of Ben you’d get

2) I would prefer the 2 Jenner girls

Yeah because right now it’s a beacon of success…

Full stop.

I can’t stand Kyrie. I have been talking for years about how his contribution to winning is significantly less than his stats. But he adds a good bit to the 6ers.

And he would be able to play for Philly. Local NYC slaw is preventing him from playing in Brooklyn.

And yes, I think it would be the best Philly could hope for. Would it make them a contender? Maybe, maybe not.

But they aren’t getting their with Simmons on their bench. That much is certain.
